WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.580 nobody likes wasting money so Intel's pitch is a little confusing with our 00:00:05.339 --> 00:00:12.120 state-of-the-art core I9 13900k you'll 00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:15.900 get 90 of the performance at 100 of the 00:00:12.120 --> 00:00:18.660 price wait What it's true though this 00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:22.619 thing runs so hot that it is literally impossible to cool through conventional 00:00:20.580 --> 00:00:28.500 means which is why today is going to be a little unconventional this used to be the 00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:33.780 domain of only the boldest modders and tinkerers but now anyone can just pick 00:00:31.740 --> 00:00:40.559 up a kit from ek's web shop and go beyond the Red Line This is a direct dye 00:00:38.040 --> 00:00:46.680 cooler and with it you can drop your CPU temperatures by up to 20 degrees or so 00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:52.140 they say all it takes is potentially killing your 600 CPU and definitely 00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:57.120 voiding your warranty will R core I9 3900k finally see its full potential 00:00:54.719 --> 00:01:01.440 will it even see tomorrow or will it direct die without passing go or 00:00:59.280

put it to good use absolutely 00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:40.439 man this thing is gorgeous and it's more 00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:45.299 than just a pretty face designed in collaboration with der Bauer the quantum 00:01:43.020 --> 00:01:49.799 velocity squared direct die takes the guesswork out of removing the protective 00:01:47.460 --> 00:01:54.299 heat spreader from your CPU and cooling the Silicon die directly before we can 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:58.259 do that I need to take our CPU out of our system just tested so we know how 00:01:56.820 --> 00:02:02.820 much of improvement the direct dye cooler actually made that's going to take a minute so why don't we have a 00:02:01.020 --> 00:02:08.580 look at the accessory package that comes with the quantum velocity squared direct 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:10.800 eye first up is a durbauer branded CPU 00:02:08.580 --> 00:02:15.420 removal tool this isn't the only way to remove the IHS from your CPU but it is 00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:19.860 by far the easiest we've also got some thermal Grizzly conduct a knot liquid 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:22.739 oil compound I'm not a hundred percent sold on going liquid metal on this 00:02:21.540 --> 00:02:30.300 project but I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get to it a little spreading tool some Allen wrenches and 00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:35.760 we've got a little foam pad this is critical because it's right in the name 00:02:32.099 --> 00:02:37.319 liquid metal if it drips or leaks onto 00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:42.019 something that it's not supposed to it can easily short and even kill your 00:02:39.239 --> 00:02:48.180 system we've personally experienced that hey there it is look at that 3900k it's 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:53.040 time for your surgery buddy the directions remove the CPU from the 00:02:50.459 --> 00:02:58.800 socket install the dilated CPU in the socket genius the CPU goes into the 00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:00.720 deleting tool here all right then I'm 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:04.800 pretty sure it's going to be in the 13th gen orientation out of the box so we'll 00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:08.940 just go ahead and put that in there start tightening this boy uh wait a 00:03:06.959 --> 00:03:11.940 second no no don't worry oh I'm a little bit worried because there's a triangle 00:03:10.260 --> 00:03:17.400 right there and there's a triangle in there and if you push it the wrong way 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:21.659 you remove capacitors we can just very simply check it we 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:27.000 don't hit those caps we're fine now all we need to do is 00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:31.560 this always makes me extremely uncomfortable yeah I don't love this 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:35.400 step you don't eat it up or anything oh yeah do you no I am potentially one of 00:03:34.019 --> 00:03:39.900 the people in the world that's delighted the most CPUs oh that sounded good did 00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:43.379 it yeah that did not sound that good I don't like this Alex I think this is 00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:46.560 wrong okay what about you don't do that what about you don't do that as I was 00:03:45.239 --> 00:03:52.680 saying before I'm pretty sure that I'm one of the people in the world that has deleted the most CPUs because that LTX I 00:03:50.099 --> 00:03:57.299 did hundreds oh yeah speaking of which we are going to have a CPU deleting 00:03:54.900 --> 00:04:00.599 booth at LTX again this year so if you want to try it on a dummy CPU before 00:03:58.980 --> 00:04:04.200 doing it on your own it's the perfect place to do it see you there or just do 00:04:02.580 --> 00:04:06.739 it on your CPU there like that's what a lot of people did 00:04:07.379 --> 00:04:14.299 percussive maintenance it's fine we're bringing out the big guns the heat guns 00:04:12.959 --> 00:04:22.079 nah come on what the heck it does not want 00:04:19.500 --> 00:04:24.800 to come off fetch me a hammer wait what are you okay yeah 00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:32.880 debatable I don't love this oh yeah oh yeah oh 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:36.620 yeah okay wait uh well that seems pretty bad wow 00:04:34.699 --> 00:04:43.020 Haha freaking finally it totally was the 00:04:40.500 --> 00:04:47.940 silicone adhesive Roman if you're watching you might want to give her a 00:04:45.660 --> 00:04:52.139 little more pull distance on this one just a touch more now I know what you're 00:04:50.699 --> 00:04:57.060 thinking that looked awful oh and hey Linus you 00:04:55.259 --> 00:05:00.540 said protective heat spreader why would I remove that okay that's a good 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:05.280 question and there are a couple of reasons first is that even for something 00:05:03.419 --> 00:05:10.139 with high thermal conductivity like copper adding thickness adding distance 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:16.020 that the heat needs to travel is going to add thermal resistance second for 00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:20.280 every material change okay like as we move from one into the next there are 00:05:18.479 --> 00:05:25.320 additional losses in the heat transfer since it can actually reflect off the 00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:27.600 surfaces of those materials so the 00:05:25.320 --> 00:05:33.539 closer we can get our cooling to the heat Source the better which raises 00:05:30.900 --> 00:05:38.699 another question really and that's why do Intel and AMD include these things 00:05:35.580 --> 00:05:42.300 then if they make cooling worse and in 00:05:38.699 --> 00:05:44.039 some cases darn near impossible well to 00:05:42.300 --> 00:05:49.020 a certain point they actually help especially with air coolers it can be 00:05:46.620 --> 00:05:53.759 better to spread the heat out a little bit from that small heat generating dye 00:05:51.419 --> 00:05:57.600 to this large larger heat spreader so you can fit more heat pipes across the 00:05:55.620 --> 00:06:03.539 hot part of the Chip And speaking of heat pipes the dye itself can get so hot 00:06:01.080 --> 00:06:07.979 that any heat pipe touching it can end up boiling which is supposed to happen 00:06:05.400 --> 00:06:13.979 but over boiling to the point where it dries out and stops being effective it 00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:16.620 also is protective the dye is extremely 00:06:13.979 --> 00:06:20.699 fragile and back before ihs's were common it was 00:06:18.539 --> 00:06:25.500 pretty common place to see users accidentally crack them and then post 00:06:22.500 --> 00:06:27.479 dead dye porn on the forums do you want 00:06:25.500 --> 00:06:31.440 to explain that we're removing the stock mounting mechanism because obviously 00:06:29.819 --> 00:06:34.979 this is you know what mounts it 00:06:33.060 --> 00:06:38.220 I think you just did and aside from it being impossible to mount this thing 00:06:36.479 --> 00:06:42.360 with the stock Hardware if we were to try to put our original cooler back in 00:06:39.960 --> 00:06:45.900 here it wouldn't be able to reach it because 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:49.979 it's fine now let's chill it's a good thing that there's no IHS on there to 00:06:47.340 --> 00:06:53.940 protect it this will go on here see and it didn't touch it see can't touch it it 00:06:51.840 --> 00:06:58.199 can't reach there's the other problem of if it did touch it it would also touch 00:06:56.039 --> 00:07:02.220 all of these capacitors in the past they'd get around the problem of your 00:07:00.479 --> 00:07:07.500 cooler hitting all the capacitors and stuff by just making it super duper 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:12.240 small problem is though this right here is just not as good at cooling as this 00:07:09.780 --> 00:07:16.680 and also you put a lot of different types of fittings in here and they hit 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:20.699 each other we're installing the die guard 00:07:18.479 --> 00:07:24.419 um which involves putting the dye back into the socket yet again but not having 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:27.840 it fall out this time with these parts machined out to make sure it doesn't 00:07:25.740 --> 00:07:33.419 bump any of the Caps or anything this little boy sits pop right on there look 00:07:31.380 --> 00:07:37.680 at that that's how we're gonna hold the CPU in place now have I mentioned that 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:41.520 we make the perfect tool for these kinds of delicate operations the LTT 00:07:39.539 --> 00:07:47.099 screwdriver has a strong magnet so you won't lose those little proprietary 00:07:43.740 --> 00:07:50.099 mounting hardware pieces and the perfect 00:07:47.099 --> 00:07:52.500 knurling for putting these things in 00:07:50.099 --> 00:07:56.759 nice and delicately now this is another thing that is special about this block 00:07:54.539 --> 00:07:59.759 instead of having a large contact patch on the bottom it has a small raised one 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:08.160 so that's going to help us avoid interfering with any kind of hold down or die guard product and EK says that 00:08:05.400 --> 00:08:12.960 the fins on the inside are actually cut closer to the die to help with heat 00:08:10.080 --> 00:08:17.639 transfer we also know that the density of those fins is extremely high here and 00:08:15.419 --> 00:08:21.479 relatively low out here where they are really going to be doing that much now 00:08:19.440 --> 00:08:24.780 under normal circumstances we just put a glob of thermal paste in the middle of a 00:08:23.099 --> 00:08:30.599 chip and then we count on the contact pressure from the cooler to spread it 00:08:26.460 --> 00:08:32.279 out not so here we absolutely need to 00:08:30.599 --> 00:08:36.479 spread this out to cover all parts of the dye because even a tiny little air 00:08:34.500 --> 00:08:40.320 pocket could cause a hot spot in a place where maybe there is no thermal sensor 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:45.480 and it could just fry itself into Oblivion going back to the whole IHS is 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:49.320 a heat spreader thing that only solves that problem seems pretty good to me did 00:08:47.820 --> 00:08:54.180 we put this on now uh yeah oh this is so bad doing things 00:08:52.560 --> 00:08:57.240 such that the camera can see it is so much harder than doing things such that 00:08:55.740 --> 00:09:03.779 I know right all right well before before you go before you go oh yeah yeah 00:09:01.620 --> 00:09:08.760 yeah yeah yeah just to fill in any little micro gaps okay is it lined up I 00:09:07.380 --> 00:09:12.720 don't know well can you look you're the one on the front 00:09:10.800 --> 00:09:16.140 well yeah that's exactly what I can't see you can't see much over here too it 00:09:14.760 --> 00:09:22.160 feels like they're threading did you guys drain the loop I mean a little 00:09:18.420 --> 00:09:22.160 you're just gonna ah 00:09:23.580 --> 00:09:33.740 yeah hey there we go all right success 00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:36.720 yeah yeah all right so this goes on here 00:09:33.740 --> 00:09:41.120 uh I'm sure you can make that work okay I'm kind of feeling this length 00:09:41.220 --> 00:09:47.820 short now no dog do you think this is my first rodeo Oh my God 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:52.920 okay hey are we ready 00:09:52.920 --> 00:10:00.540 pu installed F1 to run setup let's go 00:09:56.040 --> 00:10:03.779 okay it's at 85 Degrees which is oh 64. 00:10:00.540 --> 00:10:07.019 huh that's not good this should be 00:10:03.779 --> 00:10:09.180 working very very well right now and it 00:10:07.019 --> 00:10:12.779 is not the odds of immediate catastrophic failure are much higher 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:16.320 when you don't have an integrated heat spreader on oh well hold on second core 00:10:14.700 --> 00:10:22.140 temperatures here we go it's an average of 29 maybe that isn't that far off okay 00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:24.000 fine Roman suggested that we start by 00:10:22.140 --> 00:10:28.080 doing like a single threaded cinebench or maybe like a quad threaded Benchmark 00:10:26.160 --> 00:10:31.920 of some sort rather than hit the whole CPU at once but we're just gonna do the 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:35.459 whole thing I thought you're actually going to take 00:10:33.540 --> 00:10:38.760 his advice for a second there okay so we've got a hot core I'm gonna stop this 00:10:36.899 --> 00:10:43.980 yeah yeah we might need to remount it yeah this top P core P core zero went to 00:10:41.459 --> 00:10:50.040 99 degrees immediately and actually P chord two is looking pretty bad too here 00:10:46.140 --> 00:10:52.680 we go let's put on some more oh God 00:10:50.040 --> 00:10:57.019 that's a lot I sucked up too much crap 00:10:54.540 --> 00:11:03.480 okay that's pretty good let's go multi-core and 00:10:59.760 --> 00:11:05.760 hello okay there we go that's more like 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:14.760 it this is quite consistent that's what we want to see also that's really chilly 00:11:09.620 --> 00:11:17.220 69 degrees on the core maximum nice so 00:11:14.760 --> 00:11:20.959 that's 11 degrees lower than stock but we also hit a much higher score so stock 00:11:19.980 --> 00:11:28.440 was 36.60 or 36 600. wow really yeah we got 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:33.000 700 points just from running a little bit cooler okay well this is great what 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:40.079 next well we can just hit it with prime95 do an actual like 00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:42.600 testes okay and cheese 89 degrees was 00:11:40.079 --> 00:11:47.100 the max before after 30 minutes I know it's only been a few minutes but this is 00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:51.060 really uh good yeah so it's been what five minutes now it hit its Max 00:11:48.779 --> 00:11:55.560 temperature last time after 11. I just looked it up oh I 00:11:52.800 --> 00:12:00.480 power is only 180 Watts well it's stock Just Pure Stock oh well that's boring 00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:04.860 let's make it turbo more so our Max there was 61 degrees it would have 00:12:02.640 --> 00:12:09.180 gotten hotter but at the same time not much yeah that was pretty good this is 00:12:07.260 --> 00:12:12.839 dual triple radiators that water wasn't going to heat up much with only a CPU 00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:21.060 dumping heat into it remove all limits boom Oh my God it's not hot at all 00:12:17.420 --> 00:12:23.519 hottest core maximum 69 degrees again 00:12:21.060 --> 00:12:28.740 nice so we just need to overclock it yeah 00:12:25.140 --> 00:12:31.200 amazing it's Tamed 00:12:28.740 --> 00:12:36.779 wow she's ripping harder than prime9 5 72. how many Waddy 00:12:34.860 --> 00:12:41.519 watts is it drawing oh I'll check Max 2 3 is already still huh and 37 320 same 00:12:39.420 --> 00:12:44.540 score overclocking time then but did we overclock with this 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:49.380 this is getting cold 00:12:49.380 --> 00:12:56.519 yes okay are we going for a live swap here 00:12:53.899 --> 00:13:01.139 all right you ready Alex with no uh oh we need to plug it in yeah 00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:05.459 oh we need to move fast because we need to move very fast no water movement uh 00:13:03.899 --> 00:13:12.720 this CPU is going to be getting yeah especially since just air in there pretty toasty we need our sketchy 240 00:13:09.660 --> 00:13:15.480 volt cable it's been in zero videos okay 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:18.959 plugged in working on it hold on hold on I'm going to start I'm going to start a 00:13:16.740 --> 00:13:24.300 load oh it's all at 100. oh it started oh I'm working on it start it start it 00:13:21.660 --> 00:13:30.000 it's not turning on Alex why is it not the switch wasn't on hello 00:13:26.940 --> 00:13:33.000 no I don't want to fry the CPU 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:34.560 there we go those fittings are not made 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:40.760 for that oh my God there's water everywhere David okay we did hold on I'm 00:13:38.100 --> 00:13:40.760 gonna turn it off 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:48.060 um we need to do a bit of a fitting swap the good news is that so much of the 00:13:45.420 --> 00:13:53.279 water drained out of the block that it's empty we don't have much time we're at 00:13:50.040 --> 00:13:56.040 56 degrees on that CPU all right try 00:13:53.279 --> 00:14:01.320 again yeah oh there we go there it goes she dropped this chills fast we're down 00:13:58.860 --> 00:14:07.620 to 11 degrees right now we want to just run us in a bench and see how hot it 00:14:02.820 --> 00:14:09.720 gets sure so 49 degrees wow 38 000 00:14:07.620 --> 00:14:14.339 points without doing anything to it we've done nothing yet I have XTU open 00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:18.920 yet but I haven't touched it I bet with how loud I talk my levels are probably 00:14:15.959 --> 00:14:25.980 about the same as Alex's on his mic here we go this is a little bit safer I 00:14:21.899 --> 00:14:28.800 believe okay it works 350 watts and 76 00:14:25.980 --> 00:14:32.940 degrees nowhere near the limit this is working very well 00:14:30.079 --> 00:14:36.839 41. so that actually took the six years that time I believe okay why don't you 00:14:35.220 --> 00:14:40.920 give the other two core six then the P chores I mean let's try five nine and 00:14:38.880 --> 00:14:45.180 six one yeah yeah we probably even give it More 00:14:42.300 --> 00:14:50.160 Voltage oh God it was it was happy there okay one two five sure six two do you 00:14:48.660 --> 00:14:55.980 think we can do it you don't have to three steps in one 00:14:52.699 --> 00:14:57.839 wow that's a lot of voltage she's not 00:14:55.980 --> 00:15:02.100 going to do more than 350 Watts for power limited for the first time 00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:06.959 how'd we do well the bad news is I still managed to 00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:12.000 hit 100 degrees on the CPU good news it was drawing 510 Watts at 00:15:10.139 --> 00:15:15.779 the time this board will just give you power it 00:15:13.680 --> 00:15:20.160 can draw like 700 Watts if you want what does that look like in terms of 00:15:16.980 --> 00:15:22.740 cinebench then very fast extremely fast 00:15:20.160 --> 00:15:27.420 it also is worth noting that that was with the voltages pretty high you don't 00:15:25.079 --> 00:15:32.220 get any more performance after about 480 Watts this block is dangerously close to 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:37.440 condensation territory here oh yeah that's a rock solid six gigahertz on all 00:15:35.160 --> 00:15:41.600 performance cores that is wild and like the temps are getting high 00:15:39.959 --> 00:15:48.779 some of them are getting into the 90s but still reasonable 480 Watts yep 00:15:46.740 --> 00:15:52.620 it's doing it now for funsies there's also a GPU 00:15:50.820 --> 00:15:57.540 overclock it's just a little one you can't do too much because like you know 00:15:55.019 --> 00:16:01.199 voltage limits yeah yeah if we were able to put like a voltage controller onto 00:15:59.220 --> 00:16:09.600 that we could get a lot more highest temp I've seen 37 degrees so far wow fun 00:16:04.980 --> 00:16:11.639 fact pretty much all gpus have no IHS so 00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:16.440 they are direct dye cooled right out of the box that's uh for a couple of 00:16:13.800 --> 00:16:20.279 reasons one is that an IHS adds Z height which would make your graphics card 00:16:18.300 --> 00:16:24.240 thicker which is undesirable or at least it was until recently and number two 00:16:22.500 --> 00:16:28.680 they're not meant to be user serviceable so there's very little risk of anyone 00:16:25.980 --> 00:16:33.660 accidentally cracking their die oh and right three because again of size and 00:16:31.920 --> 00:16:37.139 space constraints they want to get the best possible cooling out of these 00:16:35.160 --> 00:16:40.320 things so going directly to the die is going to give them the best shot at that 00:16:38.220 --> 00:16:43.500 they also tend to be larger so having just two heat pipes on it and drying out 00:16:42.180 --> 00:16:49.139 is less of a concern they're a little less power dense this is stupid you hit 00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:55.800 6.3 on a single core yeah it'll do two cores 6.3 6.4 dead in that 00:16:54.000 --> 00:17:01.380 case I think it's fair to say that we are not thermally limited no we are at 00:16:59.220 --> 00:17:05.760 the limits of this silicon right now to be clear we're not talking about going 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:10.319 deep deep Sub-Zero with liquid nitrogen or liquid helium or anything like that 00:17:07.439 --> 00:17:14.520 the the physics of the Silicon changes significantly at those kinds of 00:17:11.699 --> 00:17:18.120 temperatures we're talking within reason at the limits of the Silicon but we 00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:25.620 might have also just got a package from Elmer Labs oh are you really doing that 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:28.559 get subscribed what makes this a CPU test is it just that it's really 00:17:27.120 --> 00:17:31.740 simulation heavy or is that it's actually rendered on the CPU it's 00:17:30.120 --> 00:17:35.520 rendered on the CPU yeah this is normally like 10 FPS we 00:17:34.080 --> 00:17:43.080 can't set any records because that's held by like 64 core thread rippers but 00:17:38.100 --> 00:17:44.880 that was like 4550 FPS yeah wow wow 00:17:43.080 --> 00:17:48.960 that's actually a pretty bad run for this system we normally get more around 00:17:46.320 --> 00:17:53.700 19 but we also normally get this message from 00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:57.720 our sponsor bitdefender bitdefender is committed to protecting and
